Before REED GUNTHER became an Image Comics book, Chris and I were self-publishing for about a year and a half. Since we’re originally from Michigan, we did a lot of campaigning for our book there.

We were honored to find out that we have been nominated for “Self Published Comic of the Year” award from The Shel Dorf Awards!

If you would care to participate in the online voting, please check out the Shel Dorf Voting site and consider voting for your favorites in each category. We’re up against some pretty stiff (and awesome) competition, so please vote however you see fit! And if you haven’t read some of those other self-published comics in our category, I urge you to seek them out and give ‘em a read!

Once you vote, you will receive an email for you to confirm your voting to prevent spamming. Please be sure to confirm your voting through that email.

There’s plenty of amazing and talented Michigan comic creators on the ballet, and if you’re not sure who to vote for in a certain category, please consider the following friends of Reed Gunther:

Rob Worley (and his book SCRATCH 9)
Guy Davis
Jason Howard
Jay Fosgitt (and his book LITTLE GREEN MEN)
David Peterson’s MOUSE GUARD
Stan Sakai’s USAGI YOJIMBO

Thanks for your consideration, and happy voting!
